From what the above user has to say, I think it sounds like an okay car for someone with moderate knowledge of cars. Yes, I've looked it up and the parts are a bit on the expensive side, however quite a few of these things can be done on your own with a good shop manual. I bought one for every car I've owned.

I just think its kind of ironic that so often, the people that can actually afford these cars fresh off the line, are the ones that have no mechanical knowledge whatsoever and have to pay outrageous labor charges on parts that are already expensive on their own (especially at the dealerships).

1993 Audi 90 CS Quattro Sport 2.8L V6 from North America

Summary:

A very agile vehicle for a low price

Faults:

When the car was first purchased, we brought it directly to the nearest Audi dealer. We had the timing belt job done, and a checkup on it done. It came off the lot with reportedly $7k worth of work needed on it. But needless to say, a good portion of the work was not crucial. But what was critical was the head gasket leak (stage III), and an O2 sensor. It was under warrantee and the gasket got replaced along with some other small things by the dealer which I purchased the car from.

General Comments:

The Quattro is cool! This car is the only Quattro I could find, and she drives beautifully. I can drive smoothly and swiftly go to 120mph and not even know it. I highly reccomend this car for a second car purchase.
